SAPPORO， Japan， Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- Taken aback by the rapid progress made by the two East Asian neighbors， China is vowing to bounce back from a disappointing finish in the Asian Winter Games and to eventually shine when Beijing will host the Winter Olympics in 2022.


With the PyeongChang Olympics less than a year away and taking place right next door in South Korea， China "tested its athletes and learned from better teams"， as its top sports official put it， at the Sapporo Games. But of course， the test results were not satisfactory.


China found itself in third position with 12 golds after run-away leader Japan and South Korea， with Kazakhstan hot on its tail.


Kazakhstan swept five golds on the last day for a total of 11. Japan has 25 golds against South Korea's 16.


China bagged three golds， to South Korea's five， on the eight events of short track speed skating， the sport that has won nine out of the country's 12 Olympic golds. In PyeongChang， Chinese short trackers will be also challenged by top skaters from Canada and Russia.


In speed skating， China won only one gold from the men's 500 meters while 2014 Olympic champion Zhang Hong was shut out of the top three but picked a bronze because the Olympic Council of Asia banned a podium sweep by the same delegation.


"There must be problems with the speed skating team，" said Ren Hongguo， secretary general of the Chinese delegation. "Either they had insufficient training or they are trying to adjust themselves to peak in PyeongChang."


Chinese snowboarders， cross-country skiers and curling teams have struck gold in Sapporo but they are far less competitive when it comes to the Olympics.


Gao Zhidan， the Chinese delegation chief， was surprised by the huge progress made by Japan and South Korea.


"Three East Asian countries have been developing winter sports for the past two decades，" he said. "This Games shows Japan and South Korea are on a fast lane， way faster."


As for the 2022 Olympics， China is planning to expand its winter sports population to 300 million and turn to world-class foreign coaches for help.


China will also be scouting talent in summer sports in a bid to turn gymnasts， martial artists， roller skaters， even ball game players， to winter sports， according to Gao.


"We should test every means to raise the level of Chinese winter sports before the 2022 Games，" he said.
